Never leave the surface units unattended 
at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

Do not use aluminum foil to line the drip pans
or anywhere in the oven except as described in
this manual. Misuse could result in a shock, fire
hazard or damage to the range.

Be sure the drip pans and the vent duct are not
covered and are in place. Their absence during
cooking could damage range parts and wiring.

Only certain types of glass, glass ⁄ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers are

suitable for cooktop service; others may break
because of the sudden change in temperature.

To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of
flammable materials and spillage, the handle of
a container should be turned toward the center 
of the range without extending over nearby
surface units.

Always turn the surface units off before
removing cookware.

■ 

For your safety, never use your appliance for
warming or heating the room.

■ 

Teach children not to play with the controls or
any other part of the range.

■ 

Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot holders
and other linens a safe distance from your
range.

■ 

Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and
canned food a safe distance from your range.

■ 

Always keep combustible wall coverings,
curtains or drapes a safe distance from your
range.

■ 

Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the range.

■ 

Keep the hood and grease filters clean to
maintain good venting and to avoid grease fires.

■ 

Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up
a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a
flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the
pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie
sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by
covering it with baking soda or, if available, by

using a multi-purpose dry chemical or 
foam-type fire extinguisher.

Flame in the oven can be smothered completely
by closing the oven door and turning the oven
off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or
foam-type fire extinguisher.

■ 

Do not touch the surface units, the heating
elements or the interior surface of the oven.
These surfaces may be hot enough to burn
even though they are dark in color. During and
after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other
flammable materials contact the surface units,
areas nearby the surface units or any interior
area of the oven; allow sufficient time for
cooling first.

Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop,
areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening,
surfaces near the opening, crevices around the
oven door.

REMEMBER:

The inside surface of the oven may

be hot when the door is opened.

■ 

Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids
in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

WARNING!

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least an
INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…

Use proper pan size—select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating
element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct contact and may
result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will also improve efficiency.
